Helpful Tips

• If you prefer a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup to your liking before adding the cheese.
• Add some diced potatoes or cauliflower for extra heartiness and texture.
• Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat.
